Finally everydoggie, the wait for the suwpwise is over
Opy and Charly's Mommi had the wonderful idea to ask me (and my Mommi)to paint a powtwait of our dear FUFU...we were vewy excited and happy to do this



Here I am with my Mommi discussing the pwoject...she then showed me how to hold the bwush and the west is histowy..................................I did the whole painting almost by myself , well with just a tiny bit of help, hewe and thewe....I had the bestest time, cause all the while I painted ,I could see FUFU's sweet face in fwont of me, I know none of us will ever forget him, and we hope that this pwesent fwom all the doggies in DWB will make his family feel better, and know how we feel. Thank you especially to Opy's Mom who was the dwiving spiwit behind all this....MWAHHHHHHH!

Dear Asta & Asta's Momma...
This was the bestest thing I've ever seen! It's totally pawsome...it looks just like little FuFu. You both have such talents...and the biggest hearts...Just like Opy, Charlie, Brooke & Greg!

Lots and Lots and Lots of Licks (you guys deserve extra licks today!)
Ruby oh and my Mom Michele too!

G'day Asta and Asta's Mum,

This was such wonderful thing for you and your mum to paint a picture of dear Fu Fu and send it to Eil and Girl Girl. I also saw the picture earlier on Girl Girl's web site, but bad mum was working and wouldn't help me e-mail you till now. I agwee with Ruby that the painting is pawsome. FuFu was such a great little mate to all of us. You are just the bestest girl in the world (other than Girl Girl) for doing this. You deserve lots of treats to go with all the licks. I'm so pwoud that you are my bestest pal and share my name.

Stanley said...

Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Pllbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!

That is Goober kisses and a raspberry of love to you and your sweet, bootiful mama! I never had the privilege of knowing FuFu, except through all of you. I'm sure Girl Girl and the rest of FuFu's family will cherish your labor of love.

Can't believe I have a pawsomely talented girlie like you as my friend (I'd love to watch you work your magic with those colors sometime).

Goober hugs to go with the kisses,
Stanley

Asta and Mother:
Great job on painting. Would you say that Asta's talent is inherited or a result of environment. Nature v. Nurture?

Great idea and excellent actualization.

I am saving my wages from the store so I can travel to New Yawk and have the two of you do my portrait from life. Do you think I should wear my bow tie?

Lorenza said...

Hana said...

Asta,
I am so amazed at your art work and would love to blog about the painting you did of little Fufu and the one that Butchy and Snickers are receiving disguised as a pizza. Do you mind if I copy some of the picture files and show them on my blog and also show them on the doggie forum I belong to? If you'd rather me not, that's okay too. Just let me know.

Kisses to you and your Mom (and your Dad)!
